I could also see potential efficiencies to scheduling your bus stops in advance, maybe with some configuration to set how far you're willing to walk, how long you're willing to wait, how long a grace period you want in the event t

I actually think it's a cool feature, but it shouldn't be called "zoom". "Zoom & Enhance" would make sense. The UI should also have a clear visual indicator of which modes are pure optical zoom, which (if a

I'm in between. I do use a calendar for pre-planned personal outings, but more for blocking off dates/times than tracking details. If I hide work meetings, pretty much my entire calendar is just a bunch of events generically named

I see "junk food" as a value judgement more so than a heuristic. How do you define "junk food"? Most people would agree that most things that are marketed as candy are junk food, but what else qualifies as "junk foo

That's an interesting question. Based on Grok's analysis, the answer isn't that tofu is UPF, but that your particular proposed method of creating a protein powder would not be UPF. Unless you followed that process with "

Agreed. UPF-ness is a useful and now-trendy heuristic to determine whether and how to more qualitatively analyze the health properties of a given food, but it's not the final answer. Sugar isn't a UPF (it's in Nova group 2),

It looks like the protein powders were a bad example — I'd understood that they were comparable to flour, which GPT had at one point corroborated, but Grok is giving me more detailed and better referenced information which contradicts

Well it's not like they're "ultra-processed" because they're meat alternatives. I get most of my protein from Meati (mycelium), eggs, tofu, cheese, and whey/plant/collagen protein powders, none of which

You might be happy to know we replaced the food pyramid years over a decade ago. With MyPlate No, not particularly. It's fine if you disagree with me, but MyPlate isn't similar to what I'm proposing. are you a cattle ranch

I don't doubt that some people are mistaken or dishonest in their self-reports as the article asserts, but my personal experience at least is a firm counterexample. I've been heavily leaning on AI for an engagement that would othe

That’s a horrifying amount of saturated fat per day, though. This is an extreme risk for heart disease. I keep hearing this, yet after 13 years of keto my cholesterol is still 100. Being fat is much higher-risk than eating fat. I'm a

Big companies may save money on salaries, which would have first-order effects on the job market — but you could say the same about cloud computing, or computers, or mechanical reapers. Now what about all the companies that previously could

Yeah, I don't think any healthcare system is going to be a silver bullet so long as supply is ultimately a bottleneck. Which is a bit broader in scope, being impacted by macroeconomic factors, the educational system, regulatory require

The American healthcare system is expensive partially because it’s not really a market, you’re tied to the insurance your work offers you and there are all kinds of middlemen like the PBMs. I've long argued that this is precisely the

Web 3(.0) always makes me think of the time around 14 years ago when Mark Zuckerberg publicly lightly roasted my room mate for asking for his predictions on Web 4.0 and 5.0.

The sad thing is it's not even difficult to get right. I've got something launching soon with a couple different chatbots that I'll share with you later, and it would never even have occurred to me to rely on system prompts f

My thoughts exactly. I don't want ultraprocessed junk food that more or less feels and tastes like meat. I want a whole food protein source that's comparably healthful to meat. Products like Beyond and Impossible seem to be design

You're appealing to an implicit counterfactual in which America was built in a more egalitarian way. I'd love to live in that timeline, but unfortunately we can only evaluate history as it actually exists, and in this timeline Ame

Okay. Well I'm not an "elite" or misrepresenting my experience with AI in any way. My perspective as a founder is that AI empowers entrepreneurs to launch and scale cheaply, thereby providing greater value to the public while

Sure, but how so? If I'm understanding your argument correctly, it sounds like you may be implying that we should escalate the war on general-purpose computing and outlaw generative AI. If we were to consider that, then to what end? If

I agree that modern hyper-online moralist progressivism and QAnonism are just fresh coats of paint on religion, but that isn't similar to AI. AI isn't a worldview; it's an extremely powerful tool which some people happen to b

American conservatives in 2025 are liberal because liberalism is the current most recent stable status quo. American colonial conservatives in 1776 were monarchist because monarchism was the most recent stable status quo at that time. Conse

Speaking of which, something funny I've noticed when using agents with prettier in a pre-commit hook is that the logs occasionally include the model thanking "me" for cleaning up its code formatting.
